Special thanks and appreciation to David’s cousin Cindy Rollings, who was always a constant, loving presence for him during very difficult times, and to Stephanie’s Mom, Lynn Sturge Myra (Randy), for her kindness and generosity for many years. David will always be remembered for his carefree spirit, eagerness to always lend a hand, and his love for his family. He loved living in the moment and would always remind others to “never wish time away.” Following a reception and viewing in Calgary on Sunday, May 3, cremation will take place in Calgary. A celebration of David’s life will take place in St. John’s at a date to be determined when safer to do so. David will then be laid to rest with his Mom and Dad at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in St. John’s. Godspeed David. We will always love you and hold your memory in our hearts.
